Roof Assembly

Diagram 24 

You can now start to construct the roof.  First you need the top bracket (AB0099) and two roof bars 
(AB0021).   
 

AB0099 

Working on the floor, slot the bracket onto the first roof bar.  Drill pilot holes through the pre-drilled 
holes in the bracket.  Then fix in place with 50mm countersunk stainless steel screws.   Add another 
glazing bar in the opposite position to the last bar and fix this in place (diagram 24).
